Sure it’s not something I said?

If I acquiesce to switching seats, are you just going to keep pushing for more?

Will you come for my blanket, pretzels, and the secret to my “naturally” voluminous hair next?

Since it’s the topic at hand, would you like to know the secret to my “naturally” voluminous hair?

Believe me when I say, a jumbo Toblerone is well within my confectionary budget. See this coffee?

It has 14 pumps of salted hibiscus chai sickly sweet syrup in it. You pay per pump! Would you like to live the same luxurious lifestyle?

C’mon, man! You already lost your family’s respect by failing to prepare for a flight. Are you really going to let a great opportunity…
